He is as kind and generous with his time and heart as he is talented – which is very.

He performed for and spoke earnestly with my (adult) Baltimore city poetry students when I was Poet-in-Residence for a literacy center. They hung on his every word.

His first chapbook – “10 Tongues”, if memory serves, was earnest and extraordinary. I lent my (now out of print) copy in the early 2000s and it never found its way back to me. I still mourn its loss almost a quarter century later. I’m thrilled to learn there’s more Reggie Harris to read. Lucky me, lucky us.

I work with Reggie in Baltimore and to see his responses to many brought back memories of his voice always filled with humor and wisdom.
